Brandi dead?

Posts on NWP and 2p2 say that Brandi, of Brandi and Captain Tom, of Brandi and Skalansky, of Brandi stealing all of her boyfriends earthly possessions, has killed herself. 

 Don't know if this is a repost, but with no search function, I have no idea.

I don't see how anyone could not think that she was really fucked up and had a lot of problems. I don't think that what ill said had any intentions of slandering the dead or anything like that. She had a lot of problems and he even prefaced by saying "i hate to say this.."

If suicide results in death, why is there a repost?

     First of all R.I.P. This is very sad whether you like her or not. It is always, imo, tragic when someone so young dies. Second, I hope this gets little to no media coverage because the media will spin it into gambling/poker etc etc.

to let you know.  P5s started in Jan. of 05, so 04 is a bit of a stretch.

I'd think Sklansky could spell jeopardy correctly.  Isn't he a genius or something?

She let another man (equally as old) put his penis on her back.

 I would be angry as well.

I wouldnt believe anything posting on that clown site neverwin.com, or anything that douchebag micon has to say either.

he's a self proclaimed 'mad' genius.. don't know if that counts - his taste is certainly questionable, and so is his hair, if i can be a bitch for a moment

Sure, its sad when young people die. And maybe there are people who cared about her. BUT, suicide is one of the most selfish actions anyone could ever take. And with all the stories about this person, lies undoubtedly mixed in with truth and rumors, one thing is certain: she was definately a selfish person.

It did sound like she had a lot of problems, but I here is my opinion on the matter. I have done a lot of traveling in my life. And seeing other parts of the world has taught me a lot. Life is perspective. And no matter how bad you have it here in the US, there are people who have it much much worse elsewhere in the world. And in the past, everyone had it worse than we do now. We live in a very affluent and comfortable era.

When I lived in Northern China, I took the bus everyday to the university I was teaching at. Everyday on the side of this particular road at the same time of the morning; there was this peasant guy. Its strange, I know, but people call them peasants; they even refer to themselves that way in Chinese. Anyway, he was clearing out the primitive septic system for that neighborhood (read: Ditch full of human feces). He waded around in it with a shovel and other tools. And EVERYDAY, day in, day out; if the windows of the bus were open, you could hear his voice.

Everyday this guy was singing. He sang songs while he waded around through human shit all day. One day, I heard him humming the Titanic theme song (this was back in 2000).

Everytime I take a bad beat, everytime I have to pay unfair taxes, everytime I get pissed and think I have it bad, i think of that crazy Chinese bastard singing Celine Dion knee deep in human shit.

 

The moral here is, life and happiness is all about perspective. Maybe her life was bad, but it wasnt that bad. Everyone goes through tough times but its all relative and its how we deal with adversity that makes us who we are.

People like her choose to lie, cheat, and steal their way through life and they justify it to themselves through self-pity. Condolences to the family, they are her last victims, as they have to suffer the result of this terribly selfish act.
